The best inbotheme alternatives in analytics tools, ranked by Sparkpulse's velocity_score.
Updated Aug 15, 2026
Looking for the best alternatives to inbotheme? Sparkpulse tracks and ranks 12 alternatives in analytics tools by shipping velocity — how frequently each ships meaningful updates, verified from official changelogs. For reference, inbotheme shipped 0 meaningful updates in the last 30 days and carries a velocity score of 0.0 out of 10 in 2026. The alternatives below are ranked the same way, so you're comparing real release momentum, not marketing claims.
About inbotheme
An institutional ggplot2 theme in slow maintenance, tracking upstream deprecations.
INBOtheme supplies ggplot2 themes and colour palettes matching the house style of INBO and the Flemish government. The current release is compatibility work: silencing ggplot2 deprecation warnings, quieting an interactive palette message, and refreshing the shared checklist tooling INBO uses across its packages. The substantive palette work happened two years earlier.
